After using my Treo 180 exclusively for about two months, I am about to retire it to the junk drawer.

What Passes for Innovation
24Jul03Brighthand and Pocket PC Thoughts have linked to a month-old Datamonitor article about Microsoft loosening the Pocket PC hardware requirements. According to Datamonitor, Pocket PC 2003 devices may have built-in keyboards and portrait QVGA screens as small as 2.8 inches.
